Ten Mile Tide - Facing West lyrics

Verse 1: Come with me take a trip We walk softly in the clouds Over river rocks between misty mountains Smile at me and I'll smile back And roll out that river raft Push off from the shoreline And deep blue green Spin around and we drift Over rocks and undercurrents Past cedars and sunlight and memory Waves of wind meet our bow Now hardened and strong Let the cool air push our way With the tide we roll on (Bridge) I dream of a day when I'll see your face And I won't have to say goodbye Maybe someday I'll see you again And I won't have to wonder why (Chorus) Long and winding facing West Last summer was the best Sands of time were at rest You were holding me These things I can't explain In the early morning rain Run with me, leaves fall And I go on Verse 2: A crescent shape of land Will catch our bow And our feet sink into the sand Facing west light blue Becomes white and blue The color will turn darker And darker still Orange fire dips below The horizon line Paths of light stream out Catch the corner of my eye The air is chilled I am warm The air blows cold at night But my teeth don't chatter at all (Bridge) (Chorus) Verse 3: Sit beside me on a driftwood On a driftwood chariot And point out a formation of stars I'm listening carefully I'm listening carefully And the moonlight stops To touch the sea I breathe out you breathe in I look out and let the air Escape slowly between my lips For a moment I hear The roaring of the river Fading light on cedars The shutting of a wooden door (Bridge 2) It's a place I?ve been before (Chorus) Verse 4: I saw crackling embers I saw crackling embers Firelight has shown me what I couldn't see Had I dreamed it had I seen it Had I felt it did you mean it Or was it all really all just make believe Have you ever felt this way Wish I was driving to yesterday Past the index caf? To milepost 36 Miss you I will We grow farther and farther still Think of a better way Tell me a better way I go on
